Greg has a long history of volunteer work. He was a docent in Southern California at the Bowers Museum of Cultural Art in Santa Ana. He wanted to help the community in St. George and his next door neighbor Valerie Sullivan, museum receptionist, gift shop manager and exhibit installer, asked for his help with a large shipment of incoming artwork and thus began his volunteer relationship with the Art Museum.
In the three years since, he has also helped out at the Front Desk but his specialty is rigging the lighting for new shows once the art is installed. His willingness to climb up the tall ladder to adjust the lighting on the second floor is especially appreciated by the Museum staff. Greg says, “I enjoy setting the lighting for the art because it makes such a difference in how the art appears. Everyone is so appreciative and I enjoy being in the know about what’s next in the St. George art world.” He is also serving on the Board of Directors of Leadership Dixie and is a member of the Dixie Sunshiners, an ambassador group for the St. George Area Chamber of Commerce.
Greg and his wife both work for the University of Phoenix. As the Operations Supervisor, Greg assists students, staff and faculty and is involved with community outreach and networking. The University is very supportive of volunteer efforts, which makes getting involved in the community very accessible.
With all he does it’s hard to believe that Greg has any spare time but when he does he enjoys cooking, hiking, movies, creating stained glass, and swimming. Museum members, Greg and Debi attend most of the exhibit openings and look forward to the annual Soup ‘N Bowl event in the spring.
